About the Project

What it is

HireMe is a two-sided platform where developers build portfolios showcasing their skills and projects, and recruiters search, bookmark, and connect with candidates.

Problem it solves

Developers often have their best work scattered across GitHub, resumes, and LinkedIn. HireMe gives them one focused profile that's built to be discovered.

Who it's for

Built for developers who want a portfolio that doubles as a hiring profile, and recruiters searching for specific skills.

Why it was built

It's a strong exercise in two-sided platform design: searchable profiles, bookmarking, messaging, and an analytics dashboard tracking profile views.
